JERUSALEM — Israel has advised its citizens to avoid travel to Turkey following massive protests there against a deadly Israeli military raid on an aid flotilla bound for the blockaded Gaza Strip.
The Monday advisory instructs Israelis already in Turkey to keep a low profile and avoid crowded downtown areas.
At least 10 people were killed when Israeli commandos halted the flotilla, which was unofficially sponsored by Turkey.
Turkey is just an hour flight away and is a popular holiday destination for Israelis.

Armed Navy ships were escorting boats from the Gaza protest flotilla to Ashdod on Monday afternoon, hours after IDF soldiers and activists clashed in a fatal raid.
International activists aboard the ships opened fire on IDF soldiers who boarded the ships to prevent them from breaking the Israeli-imposed sea blockade, the IDF said Monday.
According to the IDF, the international activists “prepared a lynch” for the soldiers who boarded the ships at about 2 a.m. Monday morning after calling on them to stop, or follow them to the Ashdod Port several hours earlier.According to the IDF, the international activists “prepared a lynch” for the soldiers who boarded the ships at about 2 a.m. Monday morning after calling on them to stop, or follow them to the Ashdod Port several hours earlier.
